Will I have to manually switch between networks?

With some wifi devices such as range extenders, you have to manually switch networks whenever you move into a new "zone" of the network. That's because each extender actually emits its own signal, forming its own distinct network--like a hotspot.

With Milo, however, you don't need to worry about ever manually switching between networks as you move around your home or business. Milo creates one unified network, and your device automatically stays connected to the point with the best signal, and you never need to worry about switching between multiple networks to maintain a strong connection.

While you are always connected to the same network, your devices should automatically switch to connect to the Milo with the best possible signal as you move around. However, you might find that your device clings to the connection to a certain Milo even if it isn't the best quality connection available. This has to do with the way your device works, and is easily solved. For more information about this issue and how to fix it, see our article about it [here].

If your Milo is wired to your router, you will have two separate networks by default. In this case, you may need to manually switch between networks as you move around your home. You can also combine the two networks by changing your Milo network name to match your existing router network name.
